Plain-English summary
Boston Scientific Corporation is recalling 2,501 units of the EndoVive 20Fr Push Safety PEG Kit due to a manufacturing defect. The feeding tube kit is intended for patients who cannot eat normally and delivers nutrition directly into the stomach.
During placement, the guidewire may be unable to advance through the feeding tube because the barb connector has a blocked lumen. When advancement is blocked, the placement procedure must be prolonged or the device must be removed and replaced. This can lead to additional medical interventions, including further incisions to close puncture sites, bleeding, leakage of gastric contents into the peritoneal cavity, and aspiration.
Healthcare providers and patients who may have received affected units should contact Boston Scientific immediately for recall instructions. The recall affects units distributed nationwide in the United States and in Japan.
